The XXL Freshman 2012 list sparked a lot of opinions, so the editors sat down to explain how they came to each decision.
The annualXXL Magazine Freshman list is guaranteed to generate discussion, unleash hate and expose sensitive rappers that need hugs. XXL editors Vanessa Satten (Editor In Chief), Jayson Rodriguez (Executive Editor) and Carl Chery (Digital Content Director) visited Hot 97′s morning show and discussed the process behind who made the cover, how they tried to land A$AP Rocky to no avail and just how Iggy Azalea got down (she was voted in).
Also, Chip the Ripper got thrown under the Greyhound.
